I've been teaching both in person and online workshops for almost twenty years now. You can find out more about my classes by scrolling down along the right hand side of my blog. I strive to make classes accessible to everyone (both beginner to advanced).

I love teaching and truly believe that deep down inside everyone is an artist, capable of creating something. There is power and knowledge in the act of creating something with your own hands, made from your own heart and head.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at EGorey99@sbcglobal.net

Thanks for stopping by!

Tons of food is thrown away daily. that corn could have been husked and put out for sale, which is what our local store does. However, spotty fruit, brown spotty bananas and anything that the past due date is trashed or sent to KY Harvest. Most fresh stuff is good for days after that date on the pkg, canned food for ages after that date...There is lots of food out there.Is it a liability issue?A lazyness issue?a lot of food like this gets to the food kitchens in our area due to Ky Harvest. Volunteers pick up food at the end of business day to take to food kitchens and food banks.When I lived in Alaska when ever a moose was hit by a train (it happens fairly often)the locals would take it and it would be given to those in need. A good policy.

It's a profit issue. Thinking in terms of making a profit vs keeping someone alive and healthy (good food, fruits and veggies). It's the same thing with the bookstores. I used to work for a big box bookstore. Everyday tons of books and magazines would have their covers ripped off. The covers would be sent back to the publishers for a percentage back. The rest of the book THROWN AWAY. NOT recycled. NOT donated. TOSSED IN THE TRASH. It's the same thing with food. Someone hasn't bought it? Throw it away.
